Chiquitita, tell me what´s wrong
you´re enchained by
your own sorrow
in your eyes
there is no hope for tomorrow
how I hate to see you like this
there is no way you can deny it
I can see that you´re
oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I´m a shoulder you can cry on
your best friend
I´m the one you must rely on
you were always sure of yourself
now I see you´ve broken a feather
I hope we can
patch it up together

Chiquitita
you and I know
how the heartaches
come and they go
and the scars they´re leavin´
you´ll be dancin´ once again
and the pain will end
you will have no time for grievin´
Chiquitita
you and I cry
but the sun is still in the sky
and shining above you
let me hear you sing once more
like you did before

sing a new song
Chiquitita
try once more
like you did before
sing a new song
Chiquitita

So the walls came tumblin´ down
and your love´s a blown out candle
all is gone and it seems
too hard to handle
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
there is no way you can deny it
I see that you´re
oh so sad, so quiet
